Cindy/WI Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm finally getting around to ordering some of the black african soap from Agbanga and was wondering if I buy this in the 5# bulk is it something I can melt down and pour into my molds? Is there anything else I would have to add to this? The mold I have has 9 cavity's (4oz each) so I'm wondering if I do this will it come out of the mold OK with out crumbling or breaking on me? This will be my first time useing this so if anyone can think of some tips for me on this that would be awesome. TIA Cindy/WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 There was a thread about the ABS a while ago. People talked about what the did with it, how they melted it etc. You might want to look for that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 here is one thread, i think there may be one more with the same type of info in it. mostly people just crumble it up and add it to their normal soap recipe. you may just go ahead and try it out your way. i wouldnt add anything to it when you melt it down, it sounds like when you do, it may turn to goo and not re-harden???http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27368&highlight=african Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I did make ONE bar by melting it down and slamming it into a mold (it's like rebatching at best). It was definately harder than the way I got it form AK, but I don't know how it did cause the babysitter absconded with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thanks everyone, I guess just order it, melt it down and see what I get. lol!!! I've never had a call for this but all of a sudden I've had a couple people asking if I could get it. Cindy/WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
